It was also revealed during the rumpus between the rival that the main of official handbills the purpose and circulars was to put out of existence Utahs only independent and pioneer labor paper, the Utah Labor News. On the floor of the convention the Ogden rival told Noller that he will never be able to kill the Utah Labor News with his damned little handbill. Thompson puts out a real labor paper he is too smart for you, the editor of the Ogden chamber of commerce endorsed circulars editor concluded. Thats spilling the beans! The discussions on the official paper, as well as the proposed resolutions on the same subject were positive proofs that the sponsors of the Salt Lake handbill and Ogden circular were not interested in the welfare of the labor movement. Their only objective was to kill the Utah Labor News by fair means or foul tactics. For example resolution No. 21, proposed by president and secretary of the Ogden Trades and Labor Assembly, contained the following paragraph: Be it further resolved that both publications print a message in two-da- y would-be-edito- rs We Highly Recommend BLUE POINT WHITAKERS HAND MADE AND their columns denouncing the tac- tics used by the Utah Labor News in obtaining advertising from the various merchants.

We are putting our best into the Utah Labor News, and there is the secret of the success of this great peoples paper. pressioij and heartache that the world is full of terrible and unhappy things. By way of contrast the Monitor then pointed out that the home town paper features the whole some activities of individuals anc of local business, lodge, school club ond church groups. It might also have said that the editor endeav average home-tow- n ors to help his readers get the most out of life by investing in hu man service.

He said he would have supported his motion with a statement that the federation would not need to be ashamed of the best labor paper in America. The editor thanked the delegate for his thoughtfulness but informed him that we would have refused the endorsement. We cannot serve two masters. We believe in the C.

The Utah Labor News now has endorsements of a score of labor unions in Utah, but we are not advertising the fact nor making commercialized capital of the situathe rumpus over the paper he endeavored to tional, ng ideals. In conclusion the Monitor said: Sometimes people speak lightly of the country newspaper, but it is one of the most potent and uplifting factors in our natural exist ence. and self-respe- ct they launched a great drive to provide work for the unemployed.
